And second: A lot of us (small libraries) DO still use Dewey. It’s a library reference (as it were!) that nearly everyone understands.

I realize this is just a fun exercise, but hey, it just could happen! (unless a certain large monolithic library organization blocks using this name)

I like the other idea about the Free and Open to All but it doesn’t make a good name for ice cream or really get across what I would hope to get across the most about libraries either…..

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:15:22 +0000http://agnosticmaybe.wordpress.com/?p=254#comment-122clearly i’m in the minority (at least of those who have taken your poll daddy poll) but i think li-berry pie (while sounding like an awesome ice cream flavor) is a better name for a library-related ice cream.

Dewey is to libraries as 8-track is to music. I think this library-esque ice cream flavor is a GREAT opportunity to get people thinking about libraries other than BOOKS. at least Li-berry pie leaves the table open instead of funneling us down the book path. People know we have books. They get it. But what about all the other awesome things that libraries do those days? answer questions! tech stuff! gaming! community center! etc.

on the other hand, it is just ice cream and i may be reading too much into this.
